Samurai Warriors: Chronicles(戦国無双 クロニクルSengoku Musō Kuronikuru?) is a hack and slash video game developed by Omega Force and published by Tecmo Koei for the Nintendo 3DS. It was released as a launch title in Japan on February 26, 2011, in Europe on March 25, 2011, and in North America on March 27, 2011.

Samurai Warriors: Chronicles introduces several new features not included in prior Samurai Warriors games. While the top screen displays the main game, the bottom screen is used to display maps, KOs, and mission data. A player can switch between four characters during battle, switching the screen to their respective locations as well.[2]

Unlike previous titles, where the player chooses a hero and focuses on their story, in Chronicles the player chooses a male (wielding a dai-katana and rifle) or female (wielding dual swords) character which they play as a primary character in every story battle, following their own story and changing around different armies. Each battle also allows the player to have one-four (depending on the battle) side characters to switch between during the battle. Before a stage is cleared these are fixed on certain characters related to the story. Once the mission has been cleared once, the player can change these characters out to any character they have unlocked for free play. Every character taking place in a battle receives xp, and the weapons found during the mission are divied out according to the players choosing between these characters.[3]

Every playable character from Samurai Warriors 3 Z/Xtreme Legends are playable in this game.[4] There is a story mode that follows all the events in Samurai Warriors, there are no separate story lines for game characters however game characters that star in the battle can be played. The two new officers, the main Hero and the main Heroine, are brand new original characters to the series, fully customizable by the players. The player will use either of them for all of the game (unless they replay the stage in which case all unlocked characters can be chosen), while switching control to the other returning officers during battles.

Samurai Warriors: Chronicles was first announced during E3 2010 as Samurai Warriors 3D as a part of the Nintendo 3DS line-up. The game was subsequently renamed Samurai Warriors: Chronicles, which occurred during Tokyo Game Show 2010.[5]
